DETAILED DESCRIPTION

FIG. 1 illustrates a perspective view of the Waltco clean hands system100 of the present invention. The Waltco clean hands system 100 includesa housing 101 which may be made from rigid material such as plastic,metal or other suitable material; the housing 101 includes a top section132 and a bottom section 130 which may be releasably connected by afriction fit or a releaseable adhesive. The front surface 103 of thehousing 101 includes a first aperture 104 and a second aperture 105through the housing 101 to allow wipes and gloves, respectively to bedispensed to a user. The first aperture 104 and the second aperture 105may be opened or closed by a cover 102 which may be rigid or flexible.The peripheral edges of the first aperture 104 and a second aperture 105are adapted to provide a friction fit with the cover 102 so that theinterior of the housing 101 may remain sterile and free from dirt andcontaminants. The cover 102 is connected to the housing 101 by aflexible arm 134 to facilitate the opening and closing of the apertures104, 105 and to prevent the cover 102 from being separated from thehousing 101. The top section 132 additionally includes a separating wallportion 118 to define a first compartment 140 for the wipes and a secondcompartment 142 for the gloves.

The bottom section 130 includes an interior wall portion 114, a shoulderportion 110 defined by the periphery of the interior wall portion 114and the outer wall portion 116. The shoulder portion 110 seals the topsection 132 with the bottom section 130.

FIG. 2 illustrates an inside view of the bottom section 130 whichincludes the interior wall portion 114 and an outer wall portion 116.

FIG. 3 illustrates a back view of the bottom section 130 which includesthe outer wall portion 116 and a belt clip 114 which is expandable sothat they can fit over a belt of a user.
